D5 Light
Hey guys, I just noticed something kind of wierd with my car that I never noticed before. When starting your car, is your D5 light lit then goes out? Mine didn't do it before and I just noticed it today. BTW, I have an 03 TL-S.

Pure Adrenaline, maybe that's one of the differences between TL-P & TL-S. j/k

I've seen this in older cars but sometimes the shifter is not aligned properly with the gearing, so when you shift in to D5 it may not light up until you push or pull it a little bit. if anyone knows what i mean good. if not basically it could be wear n tear causing the shifter not to align properly

Hi.my car does that too... Only when I turn the ignition. Is that a signal of a bad transmission?

Whoah! Blast from the threaded past!!! So i'm in the middle of a double din nav install to replace the factory bose POS. My GF drove my car awhile back and of course Mountain Dew went down into the shifter so while I had the console out I took out the shifter as well to clean and lube it. The shifter has a bolt that goes through an oblong loop on the end of the shift cable. Best way I see to adjust it that I can see is while the center console is out put car in drive (NOT running of course) so that the bolt is close to the middle of the loop then tighten down the nut that clamps the loop to the shifter bolt. Of course if your car has more or less wear you could move the bolt forward or back to compensate..... Just my
